It has to be used in extremely sparingly, but more than once I "accidentally" forgot to attach the paper or attached the wrong one when uploads onto Blackboard started
I manually corrupted an empty word file and pretended that I had worked really hard on a paper only to have the file "accidentally get corrupted." It worked, but that's definitely a one-time trick lol
I would just open my current favorite song (as a .mp3 file) in Notepad, delete lines until it got to roughly the same file size as a Word document, then save it as a .doc and email it/upload it to Blackboard.
I only did this maybe four times in my college career, and never more than once with the same professor.
